Mmm, I love a good peanut sauce. I also love a good bowl. This recipe fuses the two, and makes for one awesome dinner meal.

Peanut sauce used to be something that I would only eat at restaurants because I thought it was too hard to make at home. But once I found out how easy it was, I decided to try it out! If you’ve never made peanut sauce before, don’t worry! It’s so easy, and it’s so good.

This recipe is one my favorites on the blog because of all the veggies, the roasted sweet potato, the peanut sauce, and of course, the ramen noodles.

Healthy Peanut Sauce & Ramen

One thing that makes this recipe so healthy is all the veggies. Kale, cabbage, carrots, and roasted sweet potato help make this recipe nutritious and full of fiber. That makes it filling, too!

The brown rice ramen noodles that I use are healthier than the instant ramen packages because they aren’t completely stripped of all their nutrients, and have more fiber than those other noodles. But don’t worry, they cook in virtually the same amount of time that the instant ramen noodles do!

Another healthy aspect of this recipe is that my peanut sauce is way less salty than other recipes I’ve tried before. That’s because I don’t use as much soy sauce. My husband and I have found that we like recipes way more if we take down the added salts. I guess we are just used to less salt!

Budget Friendly

This recipe comes together for $11.91 or $2.91/serving. The most expensive thing I used in this recipe was the brown rice ramen, which cost me $4.00 for 10 oz.

If you wanted to make this recipe cheaper (but less healthy), you could use 3 3oz packages of instant ramen instead! That would bring your total down to $8.66 or $2.16/serving.

This ramen recipe has quickly become one my husband and I’s favorite dinner meals lately. It tastes light and fresh, but actually fills you up so it’s perfect for summer!
